There's a little 9 hole course here that reminds me of what you were describing. The greens are awful and probably do more harm than good. However, the father in law got back into golf last year after a 21 year hiatus so we would meet at this goat track every tuesday after work and walk the 9 holes. It was good b/c there wasn't anyone else out there so he could hit multiple balls. I hit off the tee and hit approach shots but didn't putt at all. I would chip and pitch and just work on stuff. It was a great way to spend some time with him, not hold anyone up, and go through the routine of keeping the ball in play off of the tee and out of the fairways.

I could see why you didn't want to play though. I'm sure if you weren't about to indulge in some tour quality courses you probably would've joined up with your buddies.
